Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam's poignant assertion that the development of villages is tantamount to the
progress of the entire nation resonates deeply in India's journey toward economic advancement. Given
that nearly 800 million individuals inhabit rural areas, channeling efforts toward their sustainable
development emerges as a pivotal strategy for the country's growth trajectory. The concept of providing
urban amenities in rural areas (PURA) assumes a central role, aiming to bridge the gap between urban
and rural living standards.
Our commitment to this transformative vision is evidenced by our initiatives in Telangana, where we
have adopted 11 villages with a focus on essential infrastructure, connectivity, and education. By extending electronic and knowledge connectivity alongside physical amenities, these villages are poised
to become centers of growth, harnessing the potential of their inhabitants to contribute to India's
economic resurgence. The incremental rollout of our program over the course of 3 years, commencing
with a single village and scaling up to six, underscores our dedication to ensuring lasting change.
The impact of our endeavors becomes vividly apparent when examining the case of villages like
Divyaguda and Balanagar. Through livelihood support and comprehensive interventions, Divyaguda has
witnessed a notable rise in income levels, effectively transforming into a poverty-free village with a per
capita income surpassing the poverty line. Similarly, Balanagar's progress showcases the power of
education enhancement through digital infrastructure. Enrollment rates have surged, dropout rates
have dropped, and the educational landscape has taken on a more vibrant hue.
Moreover, the creation of a conducive learning environment extends beyond classrooms. Adult literacy
programs, IT-enabled classrooms, and digital labs in villages like Petralchenu demonstrate our
commitment to lifelong learning. The steady participation of adults in learning activities and the steady
use of provided systems by students attest to the transformative potential of holistic interventions. As
we continue our endeavor, we remain in our belief that the development of villages is the cornerstone
of a resurgent and dynamic India.
